Jonathan:

I think you are correct. We should have two people to co-host/co-organize this thing so that one person is not swamped with the responsibility for all of it. I will volunteer to co-host such a website/resource site. Who else will co-host with me?

Hello all,

        I am thinking that it might be good to create a website, or use an app like discord to host this group. We could then create dedicated spaces for resources, conversations, etc. that could help organize all of the different conversational streams happening here and assist new people in following the  mass of information being provided here. I am not sure who is creating the group but that might be better than relying on a listserv structure. Thoughts?

Thanks,
